I think the desktop attracted too many end-users and gamers. The user-space
has turned into garbage for that audience. Windows as the Unix/Linux
Desktop was popular for 30 years. Now these casual "Enthusiasts" who are
paid agents force their 3rd-world-OS ideas into everyones ass.

The future is *BSD as a server only operating system. *BSD's strength is
that nobody cares about it.

Linux on the desktop is about to be replaced by WSL because Windows just is
the better Linux Desktop. Always has been. In the end convenience trumps
ideology. Why should someone install Linux with a Desktop that isn't the
Windows Desktop when you can have the Windows Desktop and WSL? Soon the
only people using a Linux Desktop will be the same people who are developing
it. Just leave them behind.

And who is still using Desktops anyways? It is either servers (Linux and
*BSD) or Apps on Smart Devices or dedicated Video Games hardware. Apps
don't need a full blown Desktop to be launched. Games don't need a full
blown Desktop to be launched. Desktop is just a workplace for sad people.

>>101518429
I only fumbled at "are you parents rich". 'It just works' is a phrase used to describe operating systems. Especially operating systems with a wide array of preinstalled software. Some tend to call it bloat, others a feature. The reason that I chose to put Ubuntu in the just work category is neither because I find it stable nor ideal. I categorized Ubuntu in 'just works' because it doesn't require any manual installations of drivers. Lurk more before you post anything else stupid. That aside, my first language is dutch.

>>101518390
Well that chart covers pretty much everything, there could be Slackware after going 'no' to question 'Are you gay?' and it could split with 'Are you a boomer?' or 'Are you and old man?' or something like that and then put it there with mint. And you could add FSF approved distros to 'Do you value software freedom', add 'kinda' then add 'yes' branch there and expand from 'yes' with trisquel, parabola and guix

There are only 3 options;
Do you want to use Linux?
If no, Windows, if yes
Do you hate snaps?
If no, Ubuntu, if yes, Fedora

Nothing else matters. DEs/Spins aren't distros use whatever special snowflake WM you want if you have to.

nta, it's part of the problem, the other part is gnome. SystemD is needlessly complex and is the reason for a lot of the problems on Linux. It's only job is to start daemons but it tries to do everything and gets lots of security holes and bugs in the process.

The biggest problem is that systemd is so complex and it has no reason to be complex. There have been so many times when i installed a package with name1 and systemd service will be name2, you try to list existing services that exist and you get nothing. Ok show me running services.. mfw a lot of them missing. Ok lets write a systemd service. Google how to fucking so it target=requires network. I don't know who writes this shit. It is like rust, you can't write it and you can't even read it because of shitty syntax that it spits back at you. Oh no the service failed, lets reboot. Aww snap A stop job is running for /dev/cockinyourass/sohardlmaogetfuckednigger. Alright lets unplug power. Power back on. A start job is running for /dev/isensedisrespectandigiveyoumyfatcockinreturn. Alright i waited 1:30min lets fix the whole os. It finally booted, wait my program didn't autostart...

sudo cp -r backup /backup
sudo umount \backup

If you have to ask then the answer is yes. I use arch because it works. Not going to lie an update will break shit once a year but I usually just revert and wait till they fix it the next day. If you want to dodge the tranny accusations completely you’ll have to use windows 10

I've had Debian "just work" more than most other distros. Also, what does Haiku actually work with? I've got it on a virutual machine, but has anyone got it to work with everything on a somewhat recent laptop?

Haiku doesn’t “just work” for most users. GhostBSD would be a better fit for that spot as long as you don’t care about video games.
>>
>>101534839
The sane defaults make up for any outdated software when comparing it to Artix. I use Trinity PTB on Debian testing anyway so not my problem.
>>
>>101538171
>>101534951

defined Haiku as just work since all required software for usage is installed, no ricing required. Debian not since a fresh debian installation, especially one without blobs, requires ricing from installation if you want the most out of it
>>
>>101538205
Outdated is an understatement. Also, I haven't seen any insane defaults in rolling-release distros, only insane people.

Boot up a live Devuan or Artix ISO and see what they offer. The Plasma one of the latter is pretty attractive.

I don't like the way things are on linux desktop nowadays. Linux desktop peaked at 2007-2012. Now it is catered to enterprise users and their shitty designs and practices (breaking things every update).
>Soon the only people using a Linux Desktop will be the same people who are developing it. Just leave them behind.
Sounds good to me. I would love to see Linux getting back to where it was before the smartphone era. Mobile UI doesn't belong on the desktop. Compiz was good. Bring it back too. Sad enterprise guys are ruining everything for us.
